We present results from two treatment / control experiments in the 8.MReV: Mechanics ReView massive open online course (MOOC) run on edX.org during summer 2014. We compare the efficacy of physics homework problems: (1) ...

This thesis describes the construction of a versatile apparatus to study ultracold quantum mixtures capable of simultaneously cooling fermionic ⁶Li and ⁴⁰K, as well as the bosonic ⁴¹K. The main features of the experimental ...

The methods of atomic physics offer a unique opportunity to study strongly correlated many body systems. It is possible to confine BECs in periodic optical lattices to form an analog of a solid state system. The study of ...

Trapped ions are a promising approach to quantum computation. This approach uses a qubit state which is the atomic state and quantum motional state of a trapped ion to encode information, and uses laser-ion interactions ...

In this thesis, we present simulations, using Finite Element Method (FEM), of phonon-polariton generation and coherent control in ferroelectric crystals LiNbO₃ and LiTaO₃ through nonlinear electro-optic interactions with ...

This thesis develops a system for adaptively and automatically learning to interpret patterns of electrical activity in neuronal populations in a real-time, on-line fashion. The system is primarily intended to enable the ...

Using the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer, we observed the young Supernova Remnant N103B in the Large Magellanic Cloud as part of the Guaranteed Time Observation program. N103B has a small overall ...
